Can you glue wood pieces together?
Dozens of glues claim to work well on wood and a variety of other materials. But regular wood glue is the best wood glue for raw wood-to-wood joinery. Also sometimes called carpenter’s glue, wood glue is formulated to penetrate wood fibers, making glue joints that are stronger than the wood itself.
Can you fill wood cracks with wood glue?

What to do when you glue wood together?
When you use steel bar clamps or pipe clamps, and wood glue comes in contact with the clamp, the moisture in the glue can cause the steel to leave a dark mark on your wood. Lay a sheet of wax paper over the clamps to prevent this “dark spot” problem. It will also catch glue drips that would otherwise get all over your clamps and workbench.

Which is the best wood glue for joinery?
But regular wood glue is the best wood glue for raw wood-to-wood joinery. Most wood glues are a type of polyvinyl acetate (PVA wood glue). Also sometimes called carpenter’s glue, wood glue is formulated to penetrate wood fibers, making glue joints that are stronger than the wood itself.
Is it OK to use PVA glue on wood?
Wood glue can last for years. But you may have heard that PVA wood glue goes bad after freezing or sitting around for a long time. The truth is that it might still be OK. Try stirring it with a stick to mix all the glue particles (don’t just shake it). If it’s a little thick, add some water—up to 5 percent.
